A detainee monitor restraint preferably includes a detainee restraint and a law enforcement control device. The detainee restraint preferably includes a first cuff member, a second cuff member, a cuff connecting member and a monitoring device. Each cuff member preferably includes a base member, a first ratcheting arm and a second ratcheting arm. An end of the second ratcheting arm includes a plurality of ratchet teeth. A base ratchet pawl is located in the base member. The cuff connecting member preferably includes a wire cable, a first ball formed on a first end and a second ball formed on a second end. The first and second balls are retained in first and second base members. The monitoring device is retained on one of the base members. The monitoring device preferably includes a microprocessor-based circuit, a plurality of body sensors, a transceiver and a battery.

An apparatus can include: a housing configured to form a receiving chamber that is operable to receive an object; first and second paddles disposed at a distal end of the receiving chamber; a constraining bar movably disposed within the housing and configured to translate linearly along a length of the receiving chamber; and a trigger mechanism configured to releasably couple the constraining bar to the housing. When the constraining bar is in a loaded position, the trigger mechanism can be configured to release the constraining bar in response to a proximally-directed force exerted on the constraining bar, causing the constraining bar to translate distally along the length of the receiving chamber.

A system (10) for positioning and restraining a hand (11) during hand surgery and similar. The system (10) comprises a support plate (13) and a plurality of finger restraining elements (14), wherein each of the finger restraining elements (14) is removably connectable to a finger (12) or a plurality of fingers (12), and is detachably attachable to the support plate (13). The support plate (13) comprises a magnetic material, and each of the finger restraining elements (14) comprises a rigid ring portion (19) for receiving a finger (12), and a fastening portion (20) with a permanent magnet (22) for detachably attaching the finger restraining element (14) in a desired position on the support plate (13), so that a finger (12) received in the ring portion (19) can be secured to the support plate (13) in the desired position.

A system and related methods are disclosed. The system has a first wearable device to be worn by a first person, a control module, a GPS receiver module, and a wireless receiver, the double lock configured to activate the control module when the double lock is locked and to disable the control module when the double lock is unlocked. The body protects the control module from ingress of fluids. The system has a second wearable device to be worn by a second person, having a GPS receiver module, a transmitter and activation switch. The system has a server. The system transmits a signal the first wearable device or the second wearable device in response to a determining. The control module has a storage having a unique identifier assigned to the first wearable device and a unique identifier assigned to the first person.

This disclosure discloses a restraint device including a pair of bracelets that are adjustable in distance therebetween, while at least one of the bracelets can be dually engaged during a restraint and dually disengaged not during the restraint. Further, this disclosure discloses a sleeve to enable a restraint device to be converted from a “chain style” into a “hinge style” and vice versa. Additionally, this disclosure discloses a restraint device including a first arm and a second arm, where the second arm is elastically coupled to the first arm in order to avoid overtightening when restraining.

A handcuffs assist device. The device includes a housing including a shaft. The housing includes one or more pulley wheels positioned about the shaft and coupled to a first end of one or more handcuff cables. A second end of the handcuff cables is coupled to one or more handcuffs. The housing includes a ratcheting mechanism having a sprocket wheel positioned about the shaft and a locking bar coupled to the housing. The locking bar has a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. At least one of the shaft, the one or more pulley wheels and the sprocket wheel is configured to rotate about the shaft in a first direction and not in the second direction when the ratcheting mechanism is in a locked configuration.
